The Rangers claimed Lucas off waivers from the Marlins on Friday.
Analysis:
Lucas, 32, has hit just .255/.302/.323 in 163 career games at the major league level, but he's displayed slightly above-average on-base skills at Triple-A (.338 OPS) and can play all around the infield and even the corner outfield spots if needed. While he's no lock to break camp with the big club next spring, Lucas could fill a utility role until Jurickson Profar (shoulder) is healthy.
